Logo contest kicks off Brown Elementary 50th-anniversary celebration

Milo A. Brown Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in the Byron Center Public Schools District, is celebrating 50 years in the community.

The celebration will kick off with a logo contest with the theme of "Building for Another 50."

The theme was provided by the leader of the school, Barb Johnson. The contest is open to all current Brown Elementary students, who must have their submissions in by Nov. 9. The logo will be used in the promotion of the community celebration.

“Brown Elementary has been a fixture in the community for 50 years and will continue to be a first-class school,” said Stacy Goeman, Parents Undertaking Projects (PUP) president. "Brown alumni are heavily involved in the community, and Brown is welcoming their second- and third-generation students."

The 50-year celebration will continue throughout the school year and conclude on Friday, March 1, 2013, with a community celebration and silent auction at the school.
